PT Journal AU Bradac, J Sobotka, J TI Evaluation of Riveting Force Influence on the Quality of Riveted Joint of Aluminium Alloy EN AW - 6016 SO Manufacturing Technology Journal PY 2023 BP 2 EP 10 VL 23 IS 1 DI 10.21062/mft.2023.011 DE Riveting; Aluminium Alloy; Shear Test; Hardness; Digitalization AB Joining technologies are very important aspects of production process in the automotive. Especially regarding the use of newly developed types of materials (e.g. ultra high-strength steels or aluminium alloys), in addition to welding technology, e.g. riveting or adhesive bonding technologies are used. Submitted article evaluates the effect of the riveting force on the final quality of riveted joint when joining aluminium alloy EN AW-6016 (thickness 2 mm). The actual evaluation of the riveted joint was carried out using a shear test, measuring the hardness HV01 and deformation analysis of specimen using non-contact optical scanning (ATOS III Triple Scan system).
